Hi everyone. And welcome to grow to market. This is a new podcast that we've made for the telecoms cloud and IT industries. It's really a combination of the last couple of decades of personal experience. Plus a lot of the time that we spent in our business, working with other organizations from smaller startups to growing scale-ups all the way through to larger businesses. That are trying to pivot into new areas. We'd like to think that we're providing. Something based on real experience, things that we know actually work. Which is hopefully going to be a refreshing change from some of the fake social media influences we see out there. You know, those snake oil merchants that we're all familiar with. So we're going to be sharing a lot of knowledge across the areas of sales and marketing, product management development, and even leadership. So we'd like you to stay tuned. We're going to share lots of information. And if you'd like to get in touch with us at any stage, you'll find some links in the description, but until then stay tuned for the podcasts that are coming up next.From the people behind Fractional Teams and CopyReadyNow.
